telling nbc news, it's not under consideration and his word is bond. rival ted cruz immediately challenged trump to a one-on-one 90-minute debate duel and hit the billionaire for backing out. >> donald is a fragile soul. if someone did that, didn't show up at the interview, you know what you'd say? you're fired. >> reporter: trump's latest fox news feud after the network criticized trump and he slammed moderator megyn kelly for being unfair. it dates back to the first debate. kelly responded last night. >> mr. trump repeatedly brought up that exchange of alleged bias on my part. i maintain it was a tough but fair question and we agreed to disagree. >> reporter: the network fired back overnight with a statementnt charging trump'sampaign manager with threatening kelly, saying, we can't give into terrorizations towards any of our employees.

highlighting his anti-immigration stance with the report of controversial sheriff joe arpaio, and touting jerry falwell jr., with tony backing cruz. arguing trump cannot be trusted on the topic of abortion. echoing attack ads by cruz and his allying on "meet the press." >> in 1999 you saidd youere >> whatdy say you? didn't read it. i said. >> are you a trustworthy -- >> excuse me. very trustworthy, more than you. >> i'll read it now. i'm pro-choice. i hate the concept of abortion. >> why didn't you say that i hate the concept of abortion. do you apologize? >> i -- >> do you apologize?

>> for not reading my words. no, no, do you apologize for not reading g words? >> reporter: of course, we never apologized. as for skipping thursday night's debate, you decide if it's a bluff or mistake, but donald trump is not letting up. on twiwier this morning calling megyn kelly a lightweight reporter. he says he plans to hold a simultaneous event thursday night to the debate that will $% support veterans and wounded warrioio. >> out in iowa, peter alexander for us. thank you. we'll turn to mark halprin, in des moines this morning. good morning to you. >> good morning, savannah. >> it's always been an article of faith in republican campaigns that you kind of tiptoe around fox news or don'tntagonize fox news because that's largely the republican elector ratate so is donald trump on track?

fox news put out a very provocative confrontational statement. they showed donald trump one finger, donald trump showed them one finger and punched them in the face. he threw the debate into chaos. he is showing strength, though, which is his brand. he's also got some endorsements and other tricks up his sleeves to do what he's done the entire campaign, dominate. >> let's talk about thth. you talked about the punch and counter-punch. this is seems to what have set donald trump off. a fox news spokesperson gave this statement, we learned from a secret back channel that the ayatollah and putin both intend to treat donald trump unfairly when they meet with him. a nefarious source tells us that trump has his own secret plan to replace the cabinet with his twitter followers to see if he should even go to these meetings. at was the strategy? was that smart of fox to poke the bear? >> i think journalistically and tactically it was not smart.

deba should let their journalism speak for themselves. fox fofo some reason decided to go after donald trump. they have a right to have megyn kelly be a moderator, that's their choice. trump can decide to participate. by putting out that provocative statement, they gave him not only an excuse but a general rationale to say, i'm not going to show up at the debate sponsored by a news organization that's taunting me. that's not d dald trump'ss way. >> sensing an opportunity, ted cruz wasted no time, mark. he jumped in and said, look, i'll challenge you, donald, to a one-on-one debate with no moderator, seemingly taking away the obstacles. how can trump duck that? >> well, it's going to be an interesting question to see whether cruz keeps that up and whether that debate begins an issue. ted cruz must win iowa more than donald trump. it's not absolutely essential he finish first but he needs to win there. trump i don't think will do a

cruz will have to decide if he wants to keep on that message. trump has a lot o o momentum going on in iowa, a lot of organizations, and cruz has to find a way to stop him. i'm not sure fighting about debates is the way to stop him. >> thank you. as for democrats, bernie sanders headsed to white house today for a sitdown with president obama. the president has remained officially neutral for months but this week in an interview with politicoco he heaped praise on hillary clinton saying, quote, she was more experienced than any nonvice president has ever been who aspires to this ofce. a reminder, we'll be live in iowa next monday with complete coverage of the caucuses. now to a dangerous situation out in california. we showed you this video on tuesday. coastal erosion leaving several apartment buildings teetering on the edge of a cliff. incredibly, some residents are now fighting to stay in their homes. nbc's gabe gutierrez is there. good morning. >> reporter: good morning.

>> it's angelina jolie and jack black's turn. we sat down with them to talk about the movie and their special co-stars. >> drop this! about to be served. we'll have two justice platters. did you want extra sauce? >> on the side. >> on the side. >>hat is it about these films that makes them so special? >> i think anything that comes from such a good place is very special. the intention of this is to do something for children. you know, it's relatable for everybody. really, it's for children and it has beautiful messages of embracing who you are, being a family, loyalty, understanding alllifferent types of family, all different types of beings and finding yourself. >> reporter: this time around, it's a family affair. four of the jolie-pitt kids and black's son samuel had roles in the movie. >> h was it working with your kids? >> it was so much fun.

i'm not sure i can do this. you know, to talk them through it, simple things, but they really took it seriously as a job. getting it right and not doing a bad job. >> whose idea was it? did you have to convince them to don't, or were they excited to have a part? >> we forced them. it's like, get out there and do your job. earn some money for this family. my boy wanted to don't. when i told him, we're doing "kung fu panda 3," he was like, can i be in it? i was like, i'll see what i can do. i'll try to get you a line. >> do we have acting bugs on our hands? >> i hope not. >> why? >> if they're going to be actors, i hope they do something and then be actors. >> i encourage them, when they want to be in a thing, want to act, i say, what are you going to write? you have to write it.

writing and direreing, things on the iphone. iphone video films. >> i bet yours are great. >> good stuff. >> reporter: dustin hoffman and lucy liu are back again. and a few new voices you might recognize. >> these are your cousins, dim and sully. >> welcome back. >> how you been, man? >> whose the panda? >> you the panda. >> you the panda. >> it's like the best job in the world. if you can get a cool animated film -- >> that works. >> it's so fun. and it's sort of lower stress than a live action film, where you have to wake e at 5:00 a.m. and go through the hair, makeup and costumes every day. you show up in your pjs and let it go for a few hours. it's a really fun job. >> because he can only be stopped by a master of chi. >> again with the chi.

number 4? >> i thinknk these things -- the natural progression is three. the beginning the middle and the end. the big finish that seems to be the law of sequels. when we started off, that was the hope, in my mind, is man, maybe this will be a huge hit and we'll do another one. >> i think there a hunger for pandas. people want more pandnd and it's a good sign. >> reporter: for "today," los angeles. >> my kids want more panda. they're excited. >> your son was watching -- >> my little one was watching the first one last night, getting ready. tonight, we'll watch the second. >> cute. >> "kung fu panda 3" opening on friday. ahead, a recipe you need to

>> length of time is important because it becomes very creamy. this is the thing that a lot of times -- >> i want to interrupt for a second and check in with my tasters. >> so good. >> cassoulet. >> i always use great terminology. we were poking an egg and doing a vortex the last time. remember that? >> i do. >> what i'm going to do is i put bread crumbs on top. >> can you show down in there? look how beautiful that looks. >hat is not fifished. it could go back in the oven a little bit. you know how we talk about casseroles the next day? it really, really absorbs the flavor. >> when this is done, the idea, the chicken will basically fall off the bone. >> literally fall off the bone. again, it could be, tra something else, but we're doing chicken here. your team has a bit of this downstairs that we made.

into terrorizations toward any employees. trump is welcome at thursday night's debay and will be treated fairly but he can't't dictate the moderators on the questions. what trump took exception to was not that part. there was an earlier statement about them being snarkyy about him and megyn kelly, putin and how to handle iran. he said, enough is enough cht i. i don't need yo >> foxox stoked the flames. >> it's hard to stoke the flame when the flame is on fire. have you ever seen when donald trump went on wwe? >> sure. >> if you put that clip of him saying, i'm not going -- and his appearance of the wrestling thing, it's very similar. he's taken a page out of vince mcmahon's play book on success. >> he's done everything in his own way. >> rewritten the rules.
